What is an acceptable form of ID?

Polling Place Voting

A Valid North Dakota:

Driver’s license

Non-driver’s identification card

Tribal government issued identification card (including those issued by BIA for a tribe located in North Dakota, any other tribal agency or entity, or any other document that sets forth the tribal member’s name, date of birth, and current North Dakota residential address)

Long-term care identification certificate (provided by ND facility)

Absentee Voting

North Dakota form of identification listed above

Passport or Military ID – Only for North Dakota residents living
outside the United States who do not possess one of the other forms
of identification.

Attester – An applicant living with a disability that prevents the individual from traveling away from the individual’s home to obtain an acceptable form of identification may use an attester. The attester must provide his or her name, North Dakota driver’s license, nondriver’s, or tribal identification number, and sign the absentee/mail ballot application form to attest to the applicant’s North Dakota residency and voting eligibility.

Identification must include the voter's Name, Residential Address and Birth Date.

What if I can't provide any of these?

If an individual’s valid form of identification does not include the North Dakota residential address or date of birth, or the North Dakota residential address is not current, the individual may supplement the identification with a current utility bill; a current bank statement; a check or a document issued by a federal, state, local, or tribal government (including those issued by BIA for a tribe located in North Dakota, any other tribal agency or entity, or any other document that sets forth the tribal member’s name, date of birth, and current North Dakota residential address); or a paycheck.
